Against League Of Na
tions In April.
Senator Hoke Smith last night ad
dressed a crowd that comfortably fill
ed the orchestra and balcony floors
t;f the Colonial Theater. It was eatl
mated by those famlliur with the seat
Ing capacity of the house as about
■even hundred in number.
The, crowd *£S a _ representative

en. who had aci
and friends, and'
men were members

d red boys from 8
swelled the attendance. All were at
tentive and In good spirits.
Senator Smith was given a gener
ous ovation on his appearance, nccom-
[ allied by several Clarke ’ county cltl
rens. Judge Henry S. West, former
judge of the City Court of Athens,
who was succeeded by an appointee
of Governor Dorsey, delivered a com
pllmentary speech of Introduction.
' Tims For 8trlous Thought.
"This Is not a time for misstate
inents or slander," declared Judge
West. "It is a time for serlour.
thought In the serious problems of re-
i obstruction this nation faces. It Is
no time for airing personal prejudice,
factional politics, or past grievances."
Judge West referred to the serious
ness of the times to the,8outh from
the expressed favoritism of the He
publican party 1 for the negro and Its
acceptance Of a Georgia negro as
party leader In Georgia over a white
man. Judge West made no reference
to the statement by the Hon. falter
Mathews, of Haralson county, that the
Republicans, who era strong In that
section, are behind Hoke Smith to a
man because of his support of the Re
publican senators out the Lodge reser
vations to the Leaghe of Nations.
Judge West declared that the Dem
ocratic party had adopted Senator
Smith's policies In ltd platform “rlg^t
down te Article Ten In the League of
Nations."
Senator Smith arose In a burst of
courteous applause and. after the
usual preliminaries of compliments to
the audience, thb town and things In
1 general, he launched Into an assault!
on hta opponents, especially "the
Howell brothers” and the Athens Ban
ner for their opposition.
The senator doclared that the men
whom he had defeated for office hao
never gotten ovex It. He declared
that men whom he had defeated and
the men to whom he had rofuaed np
polntments were the only ones oppos
Ing him. He charged that the At
lanta Constitution had never printed
a line of trujh about him and had
always misrepresented him.
The speaker attempted to avoid tlm
effect of the words he used In regard
to the sinking of the Lusitania, when
he said that ha did not believe the
United States should go to war he
cause the Germans had flred on an
English ship and destroyed American
lives. He said the statement nad been
mads In the course of a defense of
Preuldcnt Wilnon.
Senator Smith’s reference to Pres
ldent Wilson was roundly applauded.
Avoid* Chargee of Banner.
Senator Smith referred To the
charge In the Athens Banner that he
1 ad oppoied the League of Nation*
and hail ltn«U up with the Republl
cans In support of the Lbdge resenra*
lions, as an "absurd statement an i
made It the basis for a bitter attack
• a the Banner for It* opposition to
lilm.
Senator Smith did not at any time
during his speech specifically deny
the charge, but attempted to sidestep
It by attacking the Banner and re
forrlng to the congressional record or
his votes on the peacp treaty and the
reservations to the covenant.
Senator Smith, did not refer to his
speeches during the presidential pri
mar>, when be loudly acclaimed him
self the author of the Lodge reserve
lions nnd In answer to those who
charged that he was trying to kill
tho league itamped his foot on the
stage and ahouteil. "Yes, I mean to
out the very heart out of It. He
made that declaration at Macon anti
to Atlanta.
Senator Smith challenged any man
In the audience to stand up and re-
cat the charges that have been so
often made agalnat him that repeti
tion la not needed, or to a«k him any
•tuestion regarding his record.
"IT you believe one-tenth of what
Is printed about me In your morning
paper." he declared, "you ought to
hare run me out'of town the moment
I got her*." This »*llT »“* ? reeted
with laughter and hand-clapping.

the revolution. In a talk with The
Associated Press correspondent he
said that-foreigners seem to fail, to
realise the collapse of the Russian
transportation systems, reduced man-
power and run-down condition of the
Russian farm lands.
This comment was evoked by reports
of the negotiations of Russian econo
mic agents with Premlef-Uoyd George
In London and the announcement that
the United 8tates hod lifted prohlbl
tlons upon American trade with So
viet Rusala.
Colonel Englehard Is confident that
Russia will again play an Important
role In European markets but, he said,
"thu revival of Russian trade will not
coma untU there shall be established
a normal state of Ufa'when men shall
redoanc* attempts of establishing Im
mediately the paradise of communism
"It should be borne In mind that
European Russia has been greatly re
duced In else,” said Colonel Englehard
-'F'ormcrly It bad oyer 6,000,000 square

habitants and about 1,260,000 square
kilometers of land have detached

detached territories ordinarily had
notable surplus of grgln and other
farm prodpets which constituted the
major part of Russia’s exports. ,
“In 1913, the last year when condl
